Show and Tell

Our good friend Laurie had asked me a few months back to do a classroom presentation on photography at the school where she works. I jumped at the opportunity and am very thankful she offered this to me! I had an amazing time talking to some very cool 7th and 8th grade ELL students. These kids were on top of it, and swarmed me with some pretty good... ummmm....tough questions. All the kids loved seeing my gear, looking at my photos and learning about the basics of photography. It was suprising to see how much these guys already knew about making pictures. After it was all said and done, we got the students out of their desks and into the hallway to snap some shots! It was a learning experience for me too. I realized how awesome it was to share some of things I knew, to at least inspire other kids to think about making great photos. And not to mention we shared a ton of good laughs!



Melanie, Tobin, Zoee and I also got out to the mall to visit with Santa earlier in the day. Last year, Tobin was scared to death to see the man... This time around, we didn't even get to the front of the line and she ran up to Santa with open arms and her letter to Santa in hand. I love Christmas. Especially with kids!







We have the best Santa around!
